FIattery and Funds For the Pope

PEsTH, November 22.-The Catholic
assembly of Hungary has voted to pre-
sent to the Pope an address signed by
100000 men snd $4,000 women. The
church collections to be presented to
the Pope amount to $85, 600. The ad-
dress favors the restoration of temporal
power to the Pope. 1t is feared in Off
cial circles the address will make bad
impression in Italy. Semi official
journals protest against the address
which they say does not depict the
genuine opinion of Hungarian Catho-
lies. 1t is likely the ministry will make
Italy.

H Al Kerosene Can Fraud.

/ / went up to one Of the slaught
houses to see afriend Of mine. While lI
was there man who peddles kerosene
around the city in d wagon drove up and
wanted some bladders. 4 He finally
bought lot Of those sheep bladders,4
that will hold when blown up from o.
pint 10 \ quart. After he left we talked
it over and wondered what the man r
could want them for. They are used in
making bologna sausage, but he couldn't
want them for this Finally. i started
for home, and, in cutting across q field
came upon the pedd ler' 81 wagon standing
BY the fence. The kerosene cans in the
wagon were covered with 4 cloth. y
walked up closer, and saw the man at
work partly under the cloth. He would
take bladder, force If down through
the mouth of can, blow it up with q

let it remain in the can. watched him
until he had fixed up all the cans in this
way. iii He had some bladders left, and !
was anxious to SEE what he intended to-
do with them. HE drove along to q
house, andFa women came out to buy
some kerosene, bringing her own can.
He got partly under the cloth while fill
ing the can, and A saw him put one Of
the bladders ID her can and blow it up
the same as he did il his own cans. He
then gave her the can and went along.
This is a pretty sharp trick Every can
With85a bladder inside will hold, Of
course, from a pint to 4 quart less oil
than he IS getting paid for. Full Or
empty, no one would be likely to dis
cover the bladder i'll THE can. 1t would

I Salmi Of Beaver Tail.

Y I have made a new acquaintance in the
culinary line during my visit to New
York. al dish which I had never heard
of was served to- us at the table Of man
who considers dining in the light of a
high art. This rare and most attractive
Of delicacies is nothing more nor less than
beavers tails delicately steWed id a be-
chanel sauce. They were served as an
entree, and they are without exception
the most attractive article of food that I
have met in twelvemonth. This dish
was highly esteemed by the old govern
ors Of the Hudson Bay Company, and in
these days, when beavers are scarce,
they are considered as rare and precious
as roc's eggs. The flavor is more like
terrapin than anything else, and the
quality Of the flesh resembles that Of
green turtle. I never saw q beaver or his
tail, save on this occasion, and 30 can
form no idea Of its size, and how many
tails it takes to make a salmi; but If ever
any ofmy readers who are artistic, as was
my hest, in the matter of food and drink,
has an opportunity To get around d
beaver tain, advise him to grasp the OPP
.portunity and eat the tail Boston Tran

An Ancient Dame. /

Aunt Louisa Eglin, who is living AZ
'Vevay, Ind, at the advanced age Of 108
years, is still able To get out to, prayer
meeting and the sewing circle, and
generally#walks, too. Her mind is clear
and She has fund of entertaining
anecdotes about old time life in Virginia,
where She was born, and the early days
Of Indiana. Her father brought his
family down the Ohio on a fioatern
when she was only nine months old and
settled III Perry County, where twenty
years afterwards Louisa married Bill
Eglin, young Kentuckian who came
across the river On alhunting trip. Her
husband died il 1915, lat the age of 104,

ancient coins Of gold, form one Of the

Cold Leaf

\ Gold leaf is manufacture III about
twenty shops III New York and its
suburbs, says the New York San. It is
estimated thet 30, 800 ounces of gold are
CONSUMED annually here in making gold
leaf. Gold can be beaten SO thin that it
will take 200 leaves to equal the
thickness Of the sheet upon which this
paper is printed. An ounce can be
beaten down too, 800 leaves, three and
three-eights Of an inch square. z3
AT an establishment Id Hudson street
a reporter was told that the gold is
bought of brokers in small ingots, which
are melted into bars about a quarter of an
inch thick. These are rolled into a
ribbon as thick as notepaper. After
passing through the hands Of the beaters
it is put in books, interleaEed with
manila tissue, and 90 books are put in a
package. The ordinary sells for $7 ~
package, and the best $3.50 to $7.75.
